The Danish defender has faced a challenging period due to recurring injury problems, but neither the player nor the club appear ready to end their relationship.

The centre-back was asked directly about the possibility of remaining at Barcelona and responded with a clear indication of where his priorities lie.

“Yes, that’s all I can confirm [that he’d like to stay at Barça]. There isn’t much new to report. 

“I don’t have much to share, but I hope to be able to do so soon. Everyone knows what I want and where my mind is, so I hope everything falls into place soon.”

It must be noted that Christensen managed to return before the end of the campaign and made a brief appearance against Valencia on the final matchday, giving supporters a glimpse of his recovery.

“It’s been a long five months, but I feel like I’m in good shape right now. These international matches can help me feel better over the summer.”

Lastly, the defender also addressed concerns regarding his injury record and was keen to clarify the circumstances behind his most recent setback.

“The last injury was the result of an accident in which I got stuck in the grass.”

“I would have loved to have played more minutes, but it wasn’t something I could control,” he concluded.
